Scaling social investing to accelerate its impact

To truly impact the lives and communities it seeks to serve, the Business of Good Foundation believes engaged philanthropy demands scale — the kind of scale that can help achieve a tipping point and accelerate its impact. To that end, we are forging a growing network of collaborators and partners to overcome the challenges facing the economically and socially disadvantaged through education, employment, and entrepreneurship programs.

We seek to help social entrepreneurs expand their impact by growing our most transformative programs. And we do so by helping them enter new geographic markets or by increasing their impact in the communities they already serve. Our assistance takes one of several forms

Many entrepreneurs and business people often cite someone from their school days or early careers as having a profound impact on their eventual success. We believe mentoring offers greater impact than funding alone.

The Business of Good Foundation helps connect young businesses to much needed capital through a variety of micro-lending programs and individuals alternatives to predatory payday lending through short-term loans

Equal amounts time and money

As an engaged philanthropy, we aren’t looking for donors to just cut checks. We seek partners and collaborators ready to donate something perhaps even more valuable — their time, their expertise, and their insight.

Whether you are an individual, a family trust or foundation, or an organization, working with us allows you to dramatically expand the power of your giving.
